Formed by trumpeter/vocalist Kenny Copeland, drummer Henry Garner, trumpeter Freddie Dunn, and keyboardist Michael Nash in the mid-70s, the group first served as a backup band for Edwin Starr, who introduced them to his “War” producer and Motown hitmaker Norman Whitfield. This led to regular work with many of Whitfield’s other Motown acts, including the Undisputed Truth.
